6 line chasing pseudochromis

[swiatrek]

Well I just bought a pink pseudochromis, (wife loved the color) and now my 6 line is chasing it all around the tank. Any ideas to help ease this transition? I remember moving rock with damsels, is this necessary?

Turn off the lights for a day then feed the tank when you turn them back on..

Moving rocks always works for me.

oh thats going to be hard to do, i have a sixline that over time has become more and more aggresive, now i dont even think i could add a new fish without the sixline harrasing it

Good luck, my 6-line went crazy as soon as I added new fish to the tank even with turning the lights off. Unless you have a very large tank full of more aggresive fish then I would not recommend a 6-line even though you can keep them in smaller aquariums. In my opinion they are simply to territorial and aggressive, especially towards other wrasses.

You may want to dry dropping some live food in there. That will give them both something to do for a while and may help them "bond" as hunters.

I had one and dropped it off at the local fish store. He attacked everything. If moving the liverock doesn't work my suggestion is to get rid of it.

yeah not a good fish unless hes in a predator tank, anyone want one im finally gonna catch my moms sixline he kills every fish i give her , but i have one in a predator tank and hes fine ,

Not all 6 lines are hardcore. I had one that was murdered by a Blue/Green Chromis...yep...CHROMIS!!! He chased the 6 line all over the tank and I thought it was so funny to see my peaceful chromis chasing a wrasse, until it was too late!
